Description

A paleo-friendly version of a Thanksgiving favorite!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups of fresh organic cranberries, rinsed
  • 1 cup unfiltered, organic apple juice
  • Zest and juice from 1 large orange
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup raw honey
  • 1 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated

Instructions

  1. Place cranberries in a medium sized sauce pan.
  2. Add apple juice, orange zest and orange juice to the pot and bring to a boil over med-high heat.
  3. Add lemon zest, honey, cinnamon sticks and ginger, reduce heat to low, and allow cranberries to simmer and pop. Stir often.
  4. After most of the cranberries have popped and the sauce has thickened, remove from heat and allow to cool.
  5. Transfer the sauce to a glass tupperware and store in the fridge to further “flavor-fy” until ready to use.
